An OK hotel, built on 2 floors, with no elevator, so luggage had to be carried up the stairs. There is an attached Chinese Restaurant. The hotel does offer shuttle service to the airport, as well as downtown Anchorage.

Looks like it was built in the 1980s and hasn't been renovated since then. It looks like tjey repainted the rooms, but did a very poor job.

We chose this hotel based on the free airport shuttle and room rate. Our room was very clean, had a refrigerator and microwave, and had been updated. The hotel is really a motel style with outside corridors but it was quiet. The location is just ok, however with a car or for a short stay, it would be fine. Definitely a bargain compared to other hotels in Anchorage.

What I liked about the property; The property was located very near the down town area on Highway 1, that allowed for easy access to and from shops and restaurants. It was also located across the street from the very busy Merrill Field air port. What I disliked; The entry door of the room I occupied was difficult to open or securely lock. It appeared to have been forced open and severely damaged near the door latch mechanism and not repaired properly. The room also smelled of sewer gas that was masked with a strong but non-effective air freshener. The small aircraft taking off and landing created a lot of excessive noise.

The room was clean enough I didn't feel like I needed a shower after being inside. The bed was extremely hard. The breakfast was edible but wasn't anything to be excited about. The owner wasn't a particularly hospitable person either. Overall, it was a room I won't be sad to forget. Thankfully it was easy on the wallet.

Great Manager and Staff
This is a no-frills motel; however, the experience was wonderful. The staff are all very friendly. The propert manager, Anthony, does an excellent job of caring for your needs. The place offers free rides to downtown or to airport 24/7 durin the tourist months. In addition, there is a free hot breakfast. We've stayed here 3 times now and would stay again.

Inn was super clean. It is dated but economical and clean. Offers free transportation shuttle and the driver is polite and friendly Picked us up at the airport. Took us downtown to dine and walk around and picked us up when we called. We tipped nicely. The are looks sketchy but we were safe and sound. You want affordable and clean with friendly staff choose Merrill Fields Inn. And they have a nice free breakfast

We stayed at Merrill Field Inn overnight for an afternoon flight. We hoped to have time to sightsee in Anchorage but the timing was tight. The hotel was very helpful: dropping us off in downtown to catch a trolly tour picking us up after the tour an bringing us back to the hotel bringing us to the airport for our flight A stressless way to get some last minute sightseeing in.

What was lacking in decor and a decent mattress, Max more than made up for in caring about his guests. I value excellent customer service. Max, Anthony and his wife delivered. A shuttle where and when we requested was provided, complete with a valiant attempt at sighting moose on the way to the airport…at 3:30 am!

Property a bit dated, but I kinda like the old style Inns. Very clean and neat and the staff super helpful. Responsive to all our needs. Area around hotel not the best, but I would definitely stay there again. Chinese restaurant next door was pretty much the best meal we had in Alaska.
